I tried finding it, couldn't. i think it was the video was from around 2008, one of the very early presentations of android memory management/activity lifecycle videos.
I found a similar one but it only showed a whole process being taken down, not a single activity instance... so at this point i'm starting to think that i might just remember everything wrong and the fact the documentation stated the same, i just started believing it :) Funny that i did, considering i've never noticed this happening and i dealt a lot with memory management. ohh well...
